Please help............I'm stuck with adding a userarea

[iain sherriff]

Hi.
I need help please.

I have posted in the theme cat http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=434606.msg3733804#msg3733804

and I can't get response from the theme owner or smfdesigns forum.


you can  see that theme as I have it (WIP) at  studiodance.co.uk/smf

I want to add "Hi *username*" to the header area, probably under the logo but I have ground to a halt trying to find what to add where

Most appreciative of any help

It is a paid / member only theme. You will get support at their own theme site, that is if the first condition is met.

but I can't get any answer to registering on the forum and it hasn't been used since March...............

[Hj Ahmad Rasyid Hj Ismail]

The point is, not everybody get access to that theme since it is a paid / member only theme. So, without actually going through the theme code, we definitely cannot advise on how to do it.

OK, thanks. I understand that.
guess I'll just pay the $6 first and see if I get any contact that way..................................

(1) open index.template.php file in your theme folder with an editor (probably notepad++)
(2) find: <div id="mainarea">
(3) right after this add:

Code Select Expand


<div id="upper_section" class="middletext">
<div class="user">';
// If the user is logged in, display stuff like their name, new messages, etc.
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
{
if (!empty($context['user']['avatar']))
echo '
<p class="avatar">', $context['user']['avatar']['image'], '</p>';
echo '
<ul class="reset">
<li class="greeting">', $txt['hello_member_ndt'], ' <span>', $context['user']['name'], '</span></li>
<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread">', $txt['unread_since_visit'], '</a></li>
<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unreadreplies">', $txt['show_unread_replies'], '</a></li>
                                  </ul>';
        }
         echo' </div>
         </div>


(4) open the index.css file in your theme folder in a editor and then add all classes and ids and style it the way you want. Look at this if you dont know how to style:
